Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share In computing diluted loss per share for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, all common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as a result of their anti-dilutive effect. For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, these excluded common stock equivalents included options/stock-settled appreciation rights (SSARs) to purchase 0.7 million shares of common stock, 0.3 million shares of nonvested restricted stock and 6.5 million shares issuable upon the conversion of our Tangible Equity Unit (TEU) prepaid stock purchase contracts (PSPs). As of December 31, 2013, there were 4.6 million TEUs outstanding (including $14.2 million of amortizing notes). The PSPs related to the TEUs are scheduled to be settled in Beazer Homes' common stock on July 15, 2015. If on that date, our common stock price is (1) at or below $14.50 per share, the PSPs will convert to 1.72414 shares per unit, (2) at or above $17.75 per share, the PSPs will convert to 1.40746 shares per unit or (3) between $14.50 and $17.75 per share, the PSPs will convert to a number of shares of our common stock equal to $25.00 divided by the applicable market value of our common stock. If the remaining TEU PSPs were converted at the settlement factor under their agreement based on our current stock price, we would be required to issue approximately 6.5 million shares of common stock to the instrument holders upon conversion.
